From Lab to Body: The Journey of Medicine

Kids see medicine every day… but do they know how it actually works?

Join GlobeKin and At the Bench Top in this fun, interactive workshop, young scientists will explore how medicine travels through the body, how it knows where to go, and how scientists design pills to protect, release, and deliver medicine safely.

Through exciting hands-on stations, kids will mix, build, test, coat, and experiment their way through the incredible journey of a medicine, from the moment it’s made to the moment it reaches the right spot inside the body!

Perfect for curious kids, future doctors, young inventors, and any child who loves to learn by doing.

By the end of this workshop, young scientists will understand:

• What happens when we take medicine
• Why some medicines dissolve fast and others dissolve slowly
• How scientists design medicine to target the correct part of the body
• How the stomach works and why pill coatings matter
• How chemistry, biology, and engineering come together in drug design
  

• Kids ages 6–12
• Families who love hands-on learning
• Homeschool groups
• Budding scientists, engineers, and makers

No prior science knowledge needed — curiosity is all you need!
